That's just your brain's way of breaking down the word's molecular structure to the point where you're reading it in a completely different language.
And that's how you can tell that the base homo sapiens language consisted of the one true language that we all don't know today.

I'm not sure if that doesn't make sense because I'm drunk or because even when I'm drunk I can tell that doesn't make sense. I don't think you're "reading it in a completely different language". The ability to learn language is inherent, but the words themselves are not.

That single Indoeuropean language was the base for a vast number of languages, but the brain does not automatically revert to those words. If that were the case, language wouldn't change.
